Hapoel Kfar Shalem have had an up-and-down run lately, with a couple of losses and a couple of draws, so they're not in great form right now. Hapoel Afula, on the other hand, are in better shape - they've picked up wins and draws and haven't lost in their recent matches, so they look the more confident side coming into this one.

When these two teams meet, it's usually a lively game with plenty of goals, and the last few meetings have been very close, with two of them ending level. This one looks tight and open, but given Afula's stronger recent form, they seem the more likely to come out on top - though a draw is very possible too.
